Do all 8" rear ends have the offset pinion? I've never worked with anything but 9" ones and there were both available (either pinion yoke centered or offset 2"). I think with the 9" units, the pinions were centered if used in cars and offset if used in trucks and vans. Can you not get an 8" with centered pinion?
